Real antlers. Ideally, antlers from deer you have shot or sheds you have found in the same area you are rattling.

Those bags sound fake to me.

why do you need horns from the same area or ones you shot yourself?

same area who cares as long as you found them on your land or close to your land bring them in. I have never found a set but if I ever do I would keep and have a story.

Real antlers. I use those of an 8 pt I shot in Cisco.



I work hard, drink a little and hunt when I can.

antlers, although i use a fake set i bought about 10 years ago, sound just like the real thing.

with rattle bags you just can't get the real sound



For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

I've used both; both work fine. Rattle bags are easier to carry around.
I never have used the plactic crap that I see a the store though.
